Over the millennium, Fashionistas have asked: What is that Je ne sais quoi that fashionable ‘It Girls’ have that the rest of us admire and try to make our own? 
 
Whether it’s an Evening Dress, a Little Black Dress, or Pencil Skirt, there’s just something CHIC about a cultivated look that tops it all off with the perfect Statement Accessory piece.   
 
Whereas layering several Statement Pieces onto one outfit is itself a ‘look,’ fashion deftness is what brings forward the Haute Look and keeps us away from the ‘Sin of Overdressing.’
 
Taking a lesson from these photos of stylish European Women seen on the streets of Paris this year, we can see just how elusive a sexy look can be.  But try to master it, we must! 
 
In an effort to distill the essence of the perfect Haute Look for Wedding, Evening, Day, or StreetWear in all its effortless yet refined history, let’s start with what we know truly, always and forever works:
 
 #1 – Choosing Gowns, Dresses and corresponding Wrap Accessories which are more ‘Body-Skimming’ and less ‘Body-Revealing.’  Keeping our focus on our ‘Silhouette’ will bring forward results that are ultimately more sensual and sympathetic to the differing sizes, shapes and ages that we bring to either our Street Wear or our Wedding Party.
 
#2 – Paying strict attention to our Wardrobe Coordinates, we allow our Accessories to float on a solid canvas that blends our look together.  Whether it’s topping our Blue Gown with an Embroidered Beige Silk Stole Wrap with diamond earrings and wristlet, wrapping a Black Silk Shawl Wrap over a Black and white Evening Dress on the way to the Theatre, embracing our shoulders with a Silver Lilac Shawl Wrap over a Little Black Dress for an Evening Dinner event, out On-the-Town during Paris Fashion Week in a Lace Evening Dress and White Vintage Fur Stole Cape around our shoulders, tying a Pastel Blue Gray Silk Stole Wrap around our neck over a Floral Day Dress on a shopping trip, or jetting off to the Monet Museum with a Silk Foulard Wrap tied at our neck, our goal is to unify all elements into a seamless whole.
 
#3 – Without question we ‘Go-For-The-Flow’ in our ensemble.  Nothing starched or stiff will do – and that goes for hair as well.  A simple twisted chignon pulled off the face, pinned or sleek looks romantic against the highlights of either an Embroidered or Floral Graphic, Silk Satin or Silk Chiffon Stole wrapped around our natural looks that we meld together for a natural glow.
 
#4 - We strive to 'delight' those who behold us!  While some of us hold firmly to the belief in neutral monotones in our Gowns and Dresses, we nonetheless uphold the truth that every Chic French or Italian Woman knows is essential:  the One Flirty Item.  Of course, lovers of White Stole know that One Silk Stole or Shawl Wrap – whether floral, graphic, embroidered or embellished with our black eyeliner and heels will steal the day for us!
 
#5 – In our hearts and minds we know that nothing cheap will satisfy us.  We are prepared to INVEST for the long haul in a Couture Silk Stole, Scarf or Foulard Classic Wrap that will act as a cornerstone in our wardrobe throughout the years to come.  And exist as the Perfect Accessory no matter at what age we wear it.  We are passionate about keeping our Luxe Silk Stole Wrap Accessory in immaculate condition to allow us to wear and treasure it for life…and simply change our clothes around it!
 
#6 – We don’t hesitate to BE BOLD.  Whereas this thinking begins with our lingerie and lace stockings under our well-cut basics cut to flatter our bodies, it ends with eccentric touches in our Luxe Accessory.  Since our goal is to find what we love and make it our ‘Signature,’ we choose our Silk Stole or Shawl Wrap piece for ourselves or those in our entourage to take pleasure in ‘being a woman’ in love with…herself!
 
#7 – We eliminate too much of anything that will take the spotlight off our glowing Silhouette...whether that be clashing colors, blush or lipstick, too much gloss, too much hairspray, too many baubles, too many ruffles, or too many bouquets!
 
#8 – Above all, we Bedazzle.  Our goal is to allow our One Perfectly Stunning Wrap Accessory to steal the show!

Remember your SUMMER OF LOVE in the flowing, fearless drape of a colorful Floral Silk Stole Wrap on your Wedding Day….without guilt!
 
In today’s era, Bridesmaids' gowns are invariably shorter and chosen in go-with-everything shades of lilac, mint green, beige or black so your Bridal Party can use them as Street-Wear after the wedding.
 
But rather than invite your Arm Candy to the party to function as a “backdrop,” White Stole ravishly suggests that you elevate your closest girlfriends to the level of wearable Floral Arrangements to flaunt your assets!
 
Whether your bridal beauties wear the floral 'Fabiola' or the 'Flores' Couture Silk Satin Stole Wrap to your Garden, Veranda or Country Wedding, or they each wear a different color of Couture Embroidered Lace Silk Stole Wrap like those in White Stole's “Sophisticated Evening Lace” Collection, the notion that the colors of your Wedding Theme are reflected in the color of the Stole Wraps that embrace you will carry your Wedding Day into the aura of Good Omen with surreal flourish!
 
And whether you and your ladies prefer red, French rose or sky blue silk, White Stole has the Stole, Shawl or Foulard Wrap whose colors can be used to create a dainty bouquet for your Bridal Beauties…a massive Bridal Bouquet for yourself… and serve as the color palate for your entire Wedding Ceremony and Reception. 

Reclaim your First Embrace!  Whether your Bridal Attendants are wearing a strapless, mini, or a flowing maxi dress, let your Ladies’ true beauty shine for you at your event as they cover bare shoulders at the chapel, or reveal them throughout the day - while together you and your entourage bring excitement to your Wedding Day!
 
The secret to a perfect Summer Wedding is always a little OOMPH, splash, sparkle and glamour in your overall Wedding Theme and Bridal Attire. The main attraction, the Bride, dressed in colors symbolic of her most perfect beauty, and her Ladies-In-Waiting are surrounding her in a way symbolic of romantic love.   
 
By embracing you and yours with Couture Floral Silk Stoles, White Stole ​wishes you the Summer Wedding Day of Stole Love!

Did you know that the fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world, next to oil?  Never fear, because by buying from White Stole you’re doing something good for the planet!  Allow us to explain our enthusiasm…
 
White Stole was born to help our savvy Brides, Bridesmaids, Mothers-of-the Bride and Wedding Guests and Luxury Goods Lovers alike contribute to the decline in the demand and production of “fast-fashion” items by buying high-quality when others are buying low.
 
Although most people assume that most of what they wear is natural fiber clothing, this is far from the truth.  On top of how the fiber was grown and produced to create the fabric, how the fiber was processed, dyed and finished must be considered. 
 
Conventional manufacturing processes rely heavily on chemicals to clean and bleach fibers to prepare for spinning, weaving, knitting or dying - often with heavy metals and large amounts of water to flush and clean fabrics all the way up to and including the final finishing step in the garment process.  The facts regarding production of new materials also make vintage, recycled, reclaimed and surplus fabric arguably sustainable choices, as the raw materials require no agriculture and no further manufacturing to produce. 
 
Of utmost importance at White Stole is the fact that “Natural” fiber clothing refers to clothing made from fiber found in nature, such as the vegetable fibers of Cotton, Hemp, Linen and Flax; the protein fibers such as Wool, Alpaca and Cashmere; and the elastic fibrous secretions of silkworm larvae in cocoons used to create Silk. 
 
Each of the amazing natural fabrics in the White Stole Collection, irrespective of their distinct production and processing methods, nevertheless take them worlds-away from the man-made, artificially-created synthetic fibers which are chemically and structurally altered to the extent that they are toxic to both the person wearing them as well as to the planet.
 
For instance, despite the fact that all Cotton has a large carbon footprint for its cultivation and highly chemically treated production, Organic Cotton is considered a more sustainable choice for fabric because it is completely free of destructive toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers.  And while many designers have begun experimenting with Bamboo fiber which absorbs greenhouse gases during its life cycle and grows quickly and plentifully without pesticides, Bamboo fabric can cause environmental harm in production due to the chemicals used to create a soft viscose from hard bamboo.  Some believe Hemp is one of the best choices for eco fabrics due to its ease of growth, though it remains illegal to grow in some countries.  
 
Most relevant and adored in the eyes of followers of White Stole, Silk, the “Queen of Fiber” and cherished by couture lovers the planet over, is the fact that there are multiple ways to grow and harvest secretions from the natural larvae – from wild to ancient methods that date back to the Ancient Chinese and the Roman Empire to more eco-friendly methods today. 

Whether choosing one continuous silk thread that has been dried, brushed and reeled around a spool to form one silk “raw” thread with its exceptional ability to absorb dye  - or silk salvaged and harvested from a cocoon in smaller strands then spun or woven in ways similar to cotton or hemp to allow more silkworms to survive - Real Silk holds the remarkably different feel and visible glossy luster, natural amber glow, texture, durability, natural stain-resistance, and high-quality look to the knowing designer and consumer of fine fabric. 

As with all natural fibers, Silk fashion is a blending of compromises.  Whether the silk is hand-loomed in rural India by ancient artisan weavers or pure-dyed with mild-acid, environmentally low-impact fiber reactive dyes in a modern Italian cottage-industry factory using an age-old creation process as in the goods presented in the White Stole Collection, the raising of silkworms is, by its very nature, sustainable.   And Silk is biodegradable! 

Silk fabric when produced by weavers on handlooms has a near zero energy footprint, while silk produced by powerloomed textile factories are evaluated on a company-basis to determine sustainability.  The environmentally- focused createurs are the suppliers White Stole has built their business upon.

White Stole exists to offer Luxury Couture created with the highest-quality and integrity, as well as sustainable and ethical standards in the handmade tradition that has built the reputation of respect and admiration the Italian Silk Industry holds to this day.  

In essence, it’s a double bottom line — buying from White Stole you are doing your small part to create a cleaner environment by choosing “Pure” Silk fabric that is already produced, dyed and finished in an organic, low-impact environment while being the chicest of Planet-Lovers!

Join White Stole in making great strides toward a more sustainable fashion industry with “Pure” Silk and Vintage Wraps!

An Island Beach Wedding typically means a strong offshore breeze with blazing sun during the day and cooler air at sundown. And when we think of Island Resort Beach Wear, of all the accessories that come to mind to pair with our wedge sandals, feather-light maxi dresses, and loosely pinned locks we immediately opt to finish with a brightly colored clutch. 

But White Stole knows that there is One, Perfect Essential to make any Island, Beach or Resort Destination Wedding complete….… the PAREO Shawl! 

It's the "Secret Sauce" to your looking chic and polished, as well as stylishly comfortable from here...to there.  Whether wrapped around shoulders to chase away the chill brought by clouds or the evening breeze, shielding your shoulders from blazing sun, or draped around your neck, wrists or elbows as you walk oceanside, poolside or countryside, it's a Wrap that will keep you dancing with delight into twilight! 

Not to mention how perfect it feels to be wrapped-up in for the long plane ride back home after your Dream Wedding!  
The history of the Polynesia-influenced Pareo Shawl has resurfaced time and again onto the fashion scene since its first appearance in the United States in the 1950’s   From runway to glossy magazine and on into street style blogs, the 100% Silk 'Pareo' Shawl Accessory has captivated our nation for decades.

White Stole suggests you not spend a minute fighting off either sunburn or the night breeze, and instead remember to stow Leonard Paris’ Island Resort Wedding Season’s version of the perfect Wedding Wrap.   Impossible to forget, this Beach Resort Wedding Wrap is a step in the right direction, elevating your wedding as well as your beach days and night…. into sultry, oceanside style!

In the “Genevieve” Pareo Shawl Wrap by Leonard Paris, we are as equally mesmerized by ​its lush floral design in Persian rose, violet, golden yellow on pale pink as we are thrilled at the thought of wearing this bit of luxury silk bling onto the sand -  for both our wedding vows and our ocean inspiration!

White Stole’s collection of Island-inspired Silk Stoles, “Pareo” Shawls and Foulards call-out to your sheer maxi dress, bikini and rhinestone sandals to take them with you… all the way to Island Wedding Style!  

And the best part is that after your Wedding Day, you can tie them onto your beach bag, wrap them around your wrist or shoulders, and use them as head scarves to shield you from the burning rays of the sun.

What could be better than having one, single Wrap accessory to make your dream Destination Resort Wedding Day both functional….and perfect!?

When it comes to Wedding Gift Protocol, White Stole is a big fan of Bridal Registries for how they simplify gift-hunting for family members of the bridal party, often eliminating duplicate gifts, but also serving as an easy way to direct Wedding Guests to their end-goal of the perfect Wedding Gift. 

However, we have definitely entered a New Era of Weddings!  Now, in our most modern and free Wedding Culture, you have permission to choose your own gift.  Yes, you do!  And often the most memorable gifts are those that guests select themselves.

The truth is, choosing gifts from the registry isn’t good enough for many people these days - especially for those people closest to the Bride who want to get her something extra special and personal.  Close friends want to signal that they know something about, or have a special relationship with their Bride, and thus want to choose something more special than those who buy from the Registry.  Close girlfriends are less likely to buy things her Bride needs from the Registry, and instead opt for presenting her with something she may secretly desire.

Consequently, with utter enthusiasm, White Stole is here to help you bring something inspiring to the Bride and her Wedding Party!   And to boost your gift-giving motivation, take a sneak peak at a recent photoshoot of White Stole’s Curator and Stylist sporting a dazzling Silk Stole from the White Stole Gift Collection!

We recommend that you go with the style you know your Bride to have, complementing her style, OR, for max fun splurging on a Luxe, Couture and FABULOUS Silk Stole Wrap in an unexpected color or design,  Your personal “Wedding Wishlist-for-your-Best-Girlfriend” is what she will adore!

And YES!….you do need to send a gift to a wedding you can’t attend.  And if your Bride is a close friend of family member, yes!, it is good etiquette to give her a Wedding Gift for her second wedding.  Ideally you should send it to your Bride ahead of time in the event she wants to incorporate it into her Photoshoot, Honeymoon, or Wedding Day plans. 

And YES!...it is really tacky to just give cash even if many couples wouldn’t be offended.   So go ahead, take a risk and give the kind of luxury that will warm her heart…and shoulders!

At White Stole’s pricing you needn’t feel “too generous” because our Direct-to-You pricing brings Couture to you at its most affordable - but we do encourage you to splurge on your special lady!

White Stole’s influential Italian Luxury Couture Silk Wrap design and production of printed, solid and yarn-dyed luxury Women's Wraps in silk or cashmere use the traditional, heritage-based hand-dyed and silk-screened custom-manufacturing process that has long been used by our manufacturing companies in Como, Italy since 1945. The meticulous workmanship of our Silk Stoles are guaranteed to last a lifetime with proper care. 

Whether you are having or attending a Country, Garden, City Chapel, Island Resort, Beach Wedding, or Gala Event,  if you are in need of a Luxe Bauble  for yourself, or that will serve as a ‘Thank You’ or ‘Adore You’ Gift for your Bride or Bridesmaids, look no further than the luxury-approved curation White Stole has spent hours putting together.    

The unexpected sets of Italian hand silk-screened, inspired colors and designs in White Stole's Silk "Gift" Stole and Shawl Wrap Accessories Collection  will rock any bride and her guests past the ceremony and on into her lifetime.  We have picked the perfect designs that will be cherished - and used -forever!

Rather, we’d wish upon your silhouette that it be wrapped in a beautiful, artully-designed Couture Silk Stole that will emblazon, delight and carry the rapture of your Wedding Theme into your day’s festivities….and beyond into your life ahead!

As Wedding Season is upon us, chances are you are invited to a Spring or Summer Wedding with a glamorous reception being held in a Classic City, Yacht or Country Club setting that is perfect for channeling spring's graphic trend.

To help you focus on celebrating the clear skies in your future, White Stole suggests your inspiration begin with a sky blue and white palette that keeps the pattern focused to one piece - in this case the statement Silk Stole worn by you and your Bridesmaids. 

It is true that at most high-end shops, evening wear and luxury couture come with rather hefty price tags.  Nevertheless, though the entire ensemble may be outside of your budget, Accessory Pieces are typically inside that arch.  To the Style-Conscious, the best Accessories have somewhat of a primordial quality – lending a sense that you have captured a bit of the life you have secretly desired from the beginning of your time.  With just a wisp or sheerest layer of silk or fur, you can convey the sense of delicacy or power you feel.

‘To express oneself and how one wishes to be to the world isn’t much different than how an artist views a figure or landscape’ a biographer of Helena Rubinstein once said.

White Stole is a big supporter of the view that how a woman chooses to craft her look and construct her identity is chiefly accomplished with the fashion and accessories she adopts. 

And more importantly, that on the most important day of her life, challenging some norms – such as those surrounding weddings – simply are in order!  Our Brides know that her own beauty is in her eyes as she beholds herself at it’s deepest essence.  And expressing that self means not stepping into someone else’s fairybook Princess Wedding Story….but into her own! 

May we humbly suggest that one of the most perfect ways to cultivate your inner feminine-self is with the soft, flowing look of pure Silk Chiffon in Couture Silk Floral Stole Wraps!

White Stole’s "Charming Rose" Bridal Wrap in Pink or Lilac from the Signature Valentino Collection offers you a sheer cascading rose design that not only wraps your future in a floral embrace, but gives a perfectly flowing Heirloom Gift for the Bride and Bridesmaids who know how to put the fun into elegance for a lifetime in any season  from Spring to Summer!
 
Delicately highlight your bridal party's silhouette with a rainbow of pastel shades from lavender and lilac, or pale pink to coral in any Spring or Summer, Garden Wedding setting or season while giving yourself a pure Silk Momento of your Wedding Day that you will cherish forever.

The women White Stole loves to love have a deep desire to have, hold and “wear her accessories for life"….then see them end-up in the hands of her daughter, her favorite nieces or cousins, or even a fashionable second-hand store where Style-Savvy young girls or Budget-Minded women will discover them 20 years later.

A long Stole - many inches longer and wider than a typical scarf - is the workhorse of the accessories world.  Use it to shield your décolletage from the sun during the day, to bring your most seductive mood into your photoshoot, and as that extra layer when the sun fades into evening moonlight.

If you're attending a City Wedding this summer or just planning on taking an urban Night-Out-On-The-Town, a Silk Stole from White Stole is the key piece you need to look stylish and be prepared for the temperature all weekend long - without over-packing.  And, Have-And-Hold as a Momento forever-after!

Whether traveling to a Destination Wedding across town, across state or across-country, heavy luggage really isn’t necessary.  Packing a few versatile pieces you can wear multiple times is the difference between going In Style…and going without!

While there’s much to love about a Winter Wedding wrapped in a natural-toned Vintage Stole, we are eager to cure the universal winter gray-sky blues with vibrant, vivid-hued Silk Stoles that lend a special boost to brighten a Spring, Garden or Theme Wedding Day - be it 4th of July or Valentine's Day!  And, in our minds, there is no better way to to dial-up your style, no matter what the temperature, than by wrapping your shoulders in both “Luxe” and “Color!”

As the street look of the moment is short and glammy, with a certain alt-rock sensibility inspired by the 90’s, White Stole's "Spring Ribbons ~ Pink" Bridal Stole Wrap Accessory in pure Silk Satin Chiffon by Valentino brings Modern Wedding appeal by becoming wedding's next-big-thing with its flowing ribbon design in shades of pastel pink, rose and ruby…making your wedding dress something to dream about!

Whether we are speaking of the ceremonial location in a Country Club in a northern climate, or a Vacation Resort in a sunny southern destination, whatever the color of your Spring Wedding Day skies, bring glamour forward with a color-inspired wedding on your walk down the aisle!  From iridescent opals and diamonds to flowery or graphic motifs, prepare to obsess over the curation of color that today’s free spirited Bride-To-Be is holding dear to her heart!

Of course, in the heart-of-hearts of any glamorous Bride, the thought of taking her Wedding Day with her into her future is always a heartbeat away.  And what better way to do that than with a luxury silk, couture "Heirloom" Stole Wrap that will serve as both a cherished Momento for her and her bridesmaids of their glorious day, but as a memory that is brought to mind every time she wraps it around her from this day forward? 

White Stole wholeheartedly agrees!

The wisest Brides-To-Be view the New Year as the sartorial equivalent of a clean “white” slate- - -and White Stole wholeheartedly agrees!  We encourage you to take the First Day of the year as an opportunity to shake-up your thinking about how you and your entourage will greet the First Day of your married life-to-come!

Rather than reaching for the conventional, vanilla-combo, we suggest you amp-it-up a notch by way of a glamorous, shoulder-hugging Couture Silk Stole Wrap over a delicately-designed Couture or Vintage dress, with a pair of classic heels for a look that is fresh, and totally unexpected. Top it off with a touch of exotic or vintage-flaired floral in your hair, and you are ready to walk the aisle in New Style!

One of our favorite bridal looks is the theme of “Embellished Accents” and the feel of a “Viennese Waltz” for your wedding.  Certainly, you would choose dark florals and poetic fringe or lace scattered throughout your entourage and venue, topped by White Stole’s “Sophisticated Evening Lace” embroidered Couture Silk Stole Wrap by Valentino with elbow-length evening gloves to spin a rich, bohemian vibe throughout the night.  You and your entourage would be perfectly suited to the romance of Old Europe in an autumn or winter wedding, and appropriately outfitted to sip mulled wine and stroll in equal measure amongst either fallen leaves or snow-dusted sidewalks!

Simply choose from one of our favorite Valentino or Leonard, Paris “Silk Satin Stole Wrap” Collections and you are set to roll-into the New Year in extraordinary style!  These iconic brands’ collections feature rich embroidery, color blocking and graphics to add superb styling to timeless essentials, all with a decidedly upbeat flare.  Whether you're buying for yourself or for someone in your wedding party, wrap-up these luxe classics for a very stylish holiday season!

Note:  Sartorial comes from the Modern Latin word sartor which means "tailor"- literally "one who patches and mends." 
In English the adjectives sartorial and sartorially are used to refer to any matter pertaining to the consideration of clothing or fashion.

We have seen them on last year’s runways, but again in 2014 the world’s top Bridal Collections are truly outstanding with their renewed emphasis on elegance…and the Stole: irreplaceable for the Bride who wants to feel like a fairy Princess on her “I do” day.

Reserved for true dreamers, this “Must-Have” accessory gives a royal touch to the wedding - a Princessly allure that each of us look for on the big day.  An elegant detail, light and sinuous, capable of enchanting a Bride’s guests during her triumphant walk down the aisle.  Short or long, the Stole is present in all variations, Silk Chiffon, Silk Satin, Silk Cashmere, Silk Twill, Silk Tulle, Silk Lace, in white, pastel, black or bold colors, floral and graphic patterns fastened with or without the adornment of a broach.  Extremely light, the Silk Chiffon Stole, in particular, lends an elegant touch that gives fluency to the bride’s every movement unlike any other fabric or accessory - whether draped over neck, shoulder or arm, or tied in the back and draped forward over the shoulders.  For the Modern Bride, the sky’s the limit on her style choices of Silk Stoles!

Even more sophisticated, is the Silk Stole with Lace Embroidered patterning, or in the form of a Vintage Tulle. The Stole becomes an essential accessory for every respectable bride, useful to hide necklines, and, when the time is right, reveal them and enjoy the party.  Truly infinite are the combinations of materials for those who are always chilly and love sheer covering over a strapless gown as they move from church to reception or dining room, or across a ballroom floor.  From the sheerest Chiffon to Silk-Cashmere blends to Tulles that give soft volume and silhouette, the Stole’s transparence and delicacy enriches the shoulders with grace and elegance.

It is well- known that the details in your wedding accessories make the difference!  Viva La Difference~!

In the 6th century, silkworms were smuggled out of China in bamboo canes and brought to the eastern Mediterranean by two Persian merchants disguised as Priests. From there the labor-intensive business of breeding silkworms is believed to have spread first to Sicily in the 12th century, and then north to the shores of magnificent Lake Como.

The Seduction of Silk on Lake Como's shores is little known to those outside of the fashion industry, but since the turn of the century, Como, a 2,000-year-old Roman town on the southwestern shore of the lake of the same name, has been the center of Italy's silk industry.

Como's picturesque Duomo is the perfect view of the history: Master weavers were already working in Florence in the 13th century. In the 15th century, Venice became a silk processing center. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Milan assumed prominence as both the Italian and European silk capital. By the turn of the 17th century, Como became the country's largest silk producer. Como now produces 85% of all of the silk made in Italy. The silk fibers are still woven, dyed and finished in Italy's finest silk factories, just the way they have always been.

The historic piazza in Como city center tells more of the story:  Designers from virtually every fine house - from Valentino, Leonard Paris, Armani, Chanel, Hermes, Vuitton, Dior, Celine, Balenciaga, Herrera, Etro, Pucci, Burberry, Fendi, to Versace, and beyond - rely on silk from Como. A good deal of the credit for a designer's success goes to the silk houses. While the fashion-line's designers may come to the manufacturers with guidelines and inspiration for the types of fabric designs they envison, it is the manufacturers' artists in Como who actually execute the designs.
